Gapminder Data

• Gapminder combines data from multiple sources into unique coherent time-series that can’t be found elsewhere. These data are available for download here
• Alternative to downloading data is to use gapminder package in R.
• Gapminder library was used for this app.
• This app focus is on the three indicators Population, Life Expectancy, and GDP Per Capita from the year 1952 to 2007 in five continents.
• The Plot tab, the selected indicator vs year will be plotted.
• The Table tab displays the table of data for the selected continent.

Here is a link to my Gapminder data Shinyapp.

Sample Code

library(ggplot2);library(gapminder);library(plotly)
lifeexp<-gapminder %>%
        group_by(continent, year) %>%
        filter(continent == 'Oceania') 
g1<- ggplot(lifeexp, aes(x=year, y=lifeExp, color=country)) +
        geom_point(aes(color=country)) +
        geom_smooth(aes(fill= country), method="lm", formula= y~x) +
        xlab("Year") +
        ylab("Life Expectancy (years)")
p1 <- ggplotly(g1)
